I don't recall saying anything in previous posts about this. Are you 
confusing my posts with Jan-Bernd's?

Yes, my bad.

Jan-Bernd has been talking about using hrtimers to _reschedule_
NAPI. My posts are suggesting an alternative mechanism that keeps
NAPI active (with interrupts disabled) for a jiffy or two after it
would otherwise have gone idle in order to avoid too many interrupts
when the packet rate is such that NAPI thrashes between poll-on and
poll-off.

So in this scheme what runs ->poll() to process incoming packets?
The hrtimer?
